Hi,

Looks very interesting. They give a free sample (shipping 8 EUR) but it's sure not a particularly simple
motor to drive, requiring two transformers to step the voltage up to 100 to 200 volts sine quadrature.
They have kits with driver board, about 200 EUR.
LEDs vs Bulbs, LEDs are winning.

I'm having trouble understanding their prices.
A roll of 2" tape, 50 meters long is over $100 USD.

Other prices similarly over the top.
